Cutting the cost is common. Here’s where it actually comes from.
1. Enter real giveaways
A real giveaway names its sponsor, has Official Rules, and never asks you to pay to enter or to claim. Mine is one example. A free Margaritaville at Sea cruise for you and a guest, in one cabin. Taxes, port fees and gratuities included. Up to $350 value. No purchase necessary. This giveaway is not sponsored or endorsed by Margaritaville at Sea or any cruise line. See the Official Rules.
2. Use the cruise line’s loyalty perks
The big cruise lines reward repeat guests. What you get depends on the line and your tier. Read your line’s loyalty page before you book, and ask what applies to your sailing.
3. Organize a group
Some cruise lines give group perks when enough cabins are booked together. The rules differ by line and by sailing. If you’re planning a family trip or a club trip, ask before you book, not after.
4. Casino offers
Some lines send reduced or free cruise offers to guests who play in the onboard casino. Read the fine print: taxes, port fees and gratuities are usually still yours to pay.
5. Work on board
It’s a job, not a vacation. But people do sail for free this way.
What “free” usually still costs
- Taxes, port fees and government fees
- Gratuities
- Getting to and from the port
- Anything you spend on board
Watch out for “free cruise” offers that ask for a card number or a fee to claim. See how to spot a fake cruise giveaway.
